A very happy 92nd to Dame Janet Baker - icon of profound musicianship and integrity. I love this: "The only way you can sleep at night is to know that you have worked your tail off and given yourself the best chance of doing justice to whatever talent you have been blessed with."

And inspiration for young musicians from beloved Ivry Gitlis, b otd 1922: "Dear young colleagues of the up-and-coming generation, please have the courage to be yourselves, to take risks...Practise your instrument in order to free yourself...to be able to create when you play."
